DO I REALLY HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN RELIGION AND SCIENCE? In this ground-breaking work; Old Testament scholar John Sailhamer shines new light on the opening chapters of the Bible; revealing how centuries-old misunderstandings have continued to shape popular biblical interpretation as well as greatly contributing to unnecessary conflicts between the Bible and science. Pointing to answers found in the first two chapters of Genesis; Sailhamer presents a credible; scripturally supported; and much-needed explanation that opens the door to reconciliation of biblical and scientific world views. No matter what your position or background; you will be challenged to test your understanding of the Bible s critical opening sentences and reexamine your beliefs about the creation of the world through Genesis Unbound.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. This is a good resource for turning the accompanying book into a high school history creditBy WarmSocksThe first 527 pages of this tome comprise the teacher's answer key; and the remainder of the book is pages for the student. For every chapter of the accompanying textbook; there are three sections of questions. Section I is titled who/what/where in which the student is asked to write 1-2 sentences about the main characters/locations/events in the chapter. Section II contains comprehension questions to which the student is asked to write 2-3 sentences. Section III is a critical thinking essay asking the student to actually think about the information and draw conclusions (I am planning to use these as discussion questions and ease our way into thoughtful essays). Many chapters have a Section IV; which is map work. The student's booklet will be 323 pages.Note that the student pages are not a workbook. This is for a high school level course; and students will be expected to write their answers on separate paper. For the mapwork; students will need at least one sheet of tracing paper per map (I think there are 60 maps); as well as colored pencils; a good eraser; and plain paper for their final maps (fwiw; my student will only trace the maps once and not reproduce from memory since he will concurrently be studying geography and cartography).CON: This is a bound paperback book; 8.5x11 and nearly 2" thick. I wish it was hole-punched loose-leaf. Since I'm obviously not going to hand the answer key to my student; they must expect us to copy the student's pages and it would be nice to just run those student pages through the copy machine's ADF instead of having to stand there holding the book to get copies of all 323 student pages. I am probably going to end up removing the binding from the book and splitting it into two 3-ring binders (one for teacher and one for student).NOTE: While Bauer's book that this accompanies is titled "Renaissance;" it does not deal with the time period in history traditionally considered the Renaissance. Bauer's book covers world history from 1100-1453 (12th century renaissance); which is considered High Middle Ages. Traditional dating of the Renaissance is roughly 14th-17th centuries. While it is a well-written book; make sure you're getting what you want.
